macqueen pipes

[brewshooter]

I like the look and style of their pipes. The wooden stem thing is very interesting as well.

No collection can be complete without a calabash and a churchwarden.

Bah, so now you're saying I need a calabash?!?!? When will this madness end?!?

It is an incurable malady that we quite enjoy when the wallet lets us.

wow, you mentioned the two styles of pipes i am just not into. guess i will remain a pipe smoker and not a collector :wink:

Well i read on their site it takes so long because they have become popular and can't keep up with the demand.

This is not a good excuse for lousy customer service.

 

[hobie1dog]

still want one, the wooden stem I'd like to try and I've not held a Churchwarden before. It might be nice to give my arm a more relaxed lower position to hold a pipe with.

I've got the "Ranger" that I've had since 2005 or so. It looks a bit different than the pictures of the same pipe, I think they changed the coloring scheme (mine is not nearly as black and I like it a lot better). The briar looks good, really high quality and it smokes great. My only concern is that the wooden stem will *eventually* begin to wear at the mouth.
I cant comment on the shipping times, I bought mine from a now out-of-business online vendor (thepiperoom.com) who shipped instantly. They made some great aromatic blends as well...I miss them.

Well, so much for Christmas. Maybe I can get my Ranger for Fathers day, lol.

I thought about getting one but opted for the racing green peterson churchwarden instead.

I'm hearing complaints about how hot the bowls get on the Macqueen pipes. I haven't seen any specify whether they were experiencing this with cherry or briar or both.... Id like to get a churchwarden ( not particlarly Macqueen ) since I recall hearing they are great for reading (keeping the smoke away from the face... Was that on this forum?).

 

[buckeye]

i think i will smoke mine tonight and see.

 

[dburrows]

Please let us know. I'd love to pick one up but am not sold on them if the quality isn't that great.

 

[buckeye]

[dburrows]
